Their mistake is thinking of themselves as Democrats. Instead of thinking of yourself as supporting a political party, you should think about what specific policies you support, and then vote for politicians who support those policies.
Once they viewed themselves as Democrats, their views become distorted, just like how MAGA constantly make excuses for some of the worst politicians this country has ever produced. The moment they thought of themselves as MAGA, the people on their team could do no wrong.
I could understand identifying as a political ideology, if you support that ideology. Like socialist, communist, or whatever. Those labels mean something. But Democrat, MAGA, Republican? Those are political parties that don’t inherently mean anything. They’re just team names. Hell, the Democrat and Republican parties essentially switched ideologies in the past.
